Only four more years to go,
It’s been so long, it’s almost all I know
Should I leave it all on faith?
I didn’t work this hard to just walk away,
I know
Don’t I know?
It’s getting hard for me to breath,
All the pressure starts to cut me with its teeth,
When I fall asleep, it voids out all my dreams
This is everything I need, but it’s nothing that I want for me,
I know
I found my pockets full of gold
&, a hollow shell of where my youth should go
Did I out grow my path?
Or, just grow into another class?
I know
Don’t I know?
It’s getting hard for me to breath,
All the pressure starts to cu me with its teeth,
When I fall asleep, it voids out all my dreams
This is everything I need, but it’s nothing that I want for me,
I know
Don’t I know?
